I use Stixall outside quite a lot. It holds a variety of materials firmly
and immovably together even in freezing weather, but in my experience never
sets completely hard.

It's far and away the best of of its type that I've ever used.


I haven't used Stixall but have used Gripfill (full fat) quite a lot
and love it.

A test I've used in the past is 'how easy is it to get off tools and
fingers' and with Gripfill the answer is 'near impossible'. ;-)

When building the workshop I Gripfilled 6" lengths of 6x2 sawn wooden
blocks to the insides of the cast panels that made up the walls (top
middle and bottom). Then I hung 8 x 4 sheets of 1/2" ply to that and
have since hung slotted upright / racking to them (through the ply and
into said blocks). All seem to still be there 20+ years later. ;-)


Well it seems reassuringly firm after setting off overnight. I'll get on
and finish the job today.

I am a bit nervous of tube fixatives after reading the threatening
disclaimer that came with my shower panels and their supplied materials!
